Notes: Students need to be aware that the University of Hawaii IEP program does not offer any summer courses.
Student Responsibility: The SAF programs are designed to be fully integrated academic experiences whereby SAF participants enroll in regularly offered academic courses of their host university. We recognize however that there are many talented students who would like to study abroad through the SAF but who lack sufficient English proficiency. To accommodate such students the SAF offers “pre-semester” or “pre-sessional” intensive English language programs at a number of our host universities and colleges.
While the SAF and the host university/college will make every effort to support students as they work to fulfill the requirements for progressing from English language to regularly offered academic courses, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to meet the stated qualifications. Failure to meet the host university’s or college's minimum English language requirements may preclude students from undertaking academic courses.
